Hi folks,
I want to be able to store and retrieve UNSAVED Word documents as BLOBs. I
got all the info for storing them if they're already saved on the file
system. But what if they're not already saved? I could save them to a temp
file first and then make it a blob, but I'd rather not put them on the file
system at all. I could use Document.Conten ts to get the Range object for the
whole doc and then BLOB that, but I'm not sure that would be quite the same
as a .doc file, maybe things like Styles and the like would be missing.
TIA!

And a related question -- even if I were to store them from the file system
(using code like in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;258038) how do I
tell the DB (Access in my case, but SQL Server should be the same), that the
BLOB is a Word object? Even when I use the instructions in the KB article, I
get (in Access) a type of "Long Binary Data", whereas if I use the Access
front-end to insert the object, when I view the table later, the type shows
"Microsoft Word Document"...
Thanks!

I cannot answer for Access, but in SQL Server there is no way you can
get the server itself to keep track of what you have put into an
image column. It is just a bunch of bytes.
You can of course add an extra column to keep track of which object it
is.

Hi There,
Being quite new to MS-SQL I would like to ask if there is a general opinion
of what approach should be taken to storing things like external documents
and images in databases.
Should the actual files be stored within the database, or instead should
links to the files on a file server or something similar be stored instead.
For the end user I imagine it is easier to have everything stored within the

I have VB.Net VS2005 App which creates MS Word documents. Clients are using

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
